Love and other feelings: a poetry anthology

Sins of Age

Why am I sinning? It's not natural. He is a married man. And I am fawning over him like a teenager. I keep fantasising about him and I can't stop myself. It's constant. I tried to imagine someone else but it went nowhere. I'm literally obsessed with a married man and I can't stop it. Maybe it's because I don't have a father figure. No, it can't be that. That would be weird. Maybe I just like older men because they're more mature. Maybe I can speak to him more intimately than other fantasies that I have. My other fantasies are about the same age as me and I can't really talk to them intimately. It's an age thing it seems. I care about that very much.
